Klaus was already out cold when Jungkook intervened. Upon waking up, he was greeted by the scene where the thugs who beat him up were all sprawled out on the floor as if they had all received a painful thrashing.

The only ones who remained standing were a man and a young woman. He turned towards the latter and of course, he recognized that she was the person who was here to his rescue. He let out a bitter laugh and muttered to Lisa, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," she replied with a smile.

"I don't have a lot on me, but you should take this." Klaus turned away and coughed before producing a gold watch from his pocket and presenting it to Lisa. "You two better leave soon, before Claude realizes what happened. Knowing him, he'd never let you two go."

Claude was a nasty fellow indeed. These two would never be spared if he found out that they had interfered with his plans.

"No, I don't need this." Lisa pushed away his gold watch. With a serious expression, she asked the boy, "Listen here Klaus, I'm only going to ask this once. Would you like to take back your power over the Dickens family?"

Klaus glared at Lisa out of surprise. For a moment, he remained frozen there, followed by a painful chuckle. What a hilarious question. She's asking him if he would like to retake his power? Of course! Who wouldn't wish to?!

But, is removing Claude from the throne that easy of a task?

He thought Lisa was just pulling his leg, and so his tone became much more casual. "You guys should leave now."

'Does he think I was joking around?' Lisa rubbed her nose. This was the first person who did not take her words seriously!

Lisa recalculated her plans and with the same, dead-serious expression, she told him, "I am serious. I can help you take back your power and overthrow Claude. I'll give you five minutes to think things over."

Perhaps Lisa's expression was overly serious, or perhaps it was something else, but it made Klaus sheepishly nod in agreement.

He could not believe his ears upon doing that!

With the snap of her fingers, Lisa announced, "If that's so, then I hereby announce the start of our cooperation!"

"Why would you want to do that?" Klaus asked curiously.

"Well, the answer is simple. Claude pissed me off." Lisa turned towards Jungkook right after responding to his question. "Brother Jungkook, have you called the police?"

Jungkook nodded. "They'll be here in ten."

Klaus stared in disbelief. They had beaten these thugs up and as if that wasn't enough, they had even called the police? Had they knowingly walked into a trap that they themselves created? Ignoring the fact that this was a ghetto neighborhood, where the police couldn't bother to step foot in, these were all Claude's goons. No policeman in the entirety of the United States dared to stand in the way of the Dickens family!

Were these two playing a huge, morbid prank on him?!

"These are Claude's men. The police won't be coming, not in ten minutes, nor in half an hour. They won't be here at all." Klaus seemed rather sure of himself when he reminded the pair of the futility of their actions.

It wouldn't be long before he would be proven wrong!

Well, because the police really did arrive!

"These folks are no good. It wouldn't hurt to lock 'em up for a couple more years," said Lisa while pointing at the black thugs.

The policeman nodded while noting things down on his palm-sized booklet. "Are there any other requests, Miss Lalisa, Mr. Jeon?"
